Hey Doug, I have had a very busy two weeks and just found out about the whole levy thing. If I knew that you banked at Bank of America I would have let you in on a little secret. The bigger they are the less they listen to you. Did you know that anyone that has access to your back account number (ever written a check? Paid with a debit card?) and knows the last 4 digits of your ssn can find out EVERY TRANSACTION amount that via B of A banker by phone. That is very useful info when preparing to lien a bank account. If it can be done, it will be done. The IRS will always take what they can, because they can. I am sorry for your loss but you have had some time to prepare for this one.

Anyone can be made to just about anything once they are being held by the short and curls. Why keep your head in the chopping block waiting for the inevitable. Stand up and start your new life. You still have more opportunity that 95% of the world. Remember, they cant take it if it isnt yours, next time that is :)
